I'd like to share what I did to configure X10 remote model OR32E in XBIAN 1.0a5, in case it helps anyone or just for improving xbian next versions.

Create /etc/modprobe.d with the following blacklisted modules:

Code:

blacklist rc_medion_x10_or2x 

blacklist ati_remote

blacklist rc_core

Create /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf with the following content:

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf

#

# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd

#LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file

#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.

#START_IREXEC=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules

#LOAD_MODULES=false

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.

DRIVER="atilibusb"

# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev

DEVICE="/dev/lirc"

#MODULES=""

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any

#LIRCD_CONF=""

#LIRCMD_CONF=""

Change /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to:

Code:

Add the following line inside the file /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<remotedelay>17</remotedelay>

CurlyMo · 3rd Mar, 2013, 11:20 PM

Can you try if "suppress_repeat" in the lircd.conf acts as a replacement for "<remotedelay>17</remotedelay>"?

casadoi · 4th Mar, 2013, 04:53 AM

Yes, it works fine also removing the <remotedelay>17</remotedelay> from the advancedsettings.xml and adding a "suppress_repeat 4" in the lircd.conf file.

Thanks

CurlyMo · 4th Mar, 2013, 04:57 AM

Then i don't have to tinker with the advancedsettings.xml. Great!

CurlyMo · 4th Mar, 2013, 10:36 AM

Can you share a lsusb, dmesg and cat /proc/bus/input/devices (on pastebin) so i can add the remote to our auto-detect script.

casadoi · 6th Mar, 2013, 03:57 AM

Here's the info in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/0VnhPxk1

You'll see info about a "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver" that has nothing to do with the X10 receiver (it's the receiver of a wireless keyboard).

I've found an image of the X10 OR32E remote in Amazon:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41g8xm4PDjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Part of my configuration is based on a post about an X10 OR22V configuration for lirc you can find in:
http://www.mythtvtalk.com/how-configure-x10-wti-rf-receiver-8407/

It seems that both remotes (OR32E and OR22V) are pretty similar.

CurlyMo · 6th Mar, 2013, 08:45 AM

Can you try the files i put on git and see if they work?

No problem. Ley me know URL of the git and the files I must try. Did you include an alternative to the blacklisting of modules (ie: rmmod)?

CurlyMo · 7th Mar, 2013, 01:56 AM

Yes, i do a:

Code:

modprobe -r

The files you need are:
https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/xbian-beta1/etc/lirc/hardware.conf

casadoi · 7th Mar, 2013, 03:09 AM

Ok. I'll try it asap and ley you know how it goes. Thank you!

casadoi · 7th Mar, 2013, 08:43 AM

Hello,

it works OK. Good job!

I've added some keys of the remote that were missing in x10-or32e.conf and changed some mappings for my remote in Lircmap.xml to make it more usable.

New x10-or32e.conf is:

Changed. Thanks, let's hope the X10 problems are gone.

casadoi · 7th Mar, 2013, 09:33 AM

Just one thing I have noted. Sometimes after rebooting lirc doesn't start giving a message that it could initialize the USB receiver.

I remember that message because it's the same that I saw when trying to run lirc with atilibusb without removing the 3 kernel modules (ati_remote...). So I figure that lirc was starting before the modules where completely removed with the "modprobe -r". To solve it I've inserted a "sleep 2" after the three "modprobe -r" in hardware.conf, to give some time for the modules to unload completely.

I've rebooted three more times and it seems ok now.

I hope you understand me, my english is not native.
